Rumored "Sexiest Man Alive" Adam Levine Says Blake Shelton Is Sexier

Last year People magazine designated Channing Tatum as the “Sexiest Man Alive,” but if the online rumors are true, this year’s sexiest man could be in direct contrast to the 2012 muscular beefcake. The online buzz seems to point towards The Voice’s resident hottie, Adam Levine. If it’s true, it looks like the announcement will be made soon. People has said the confirmation will be announced “next week,” and the issue will hit stands on Wednesday, November 20.

It looks like Adam could have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving (as if securing a spot on a hit TV show, being the frontman for a super successful band, and being engaged to a smokin’ hot supermodel weren’t enough).

When asked about his sexiness on LIVE with Kelly and Michael this morning (November 15), Adam used his signature humor on the show’s notorious bromance to deflect the question.

"I think Blake may be a little more sexy than I am. OK fine, I'm sexier than Blake,” he joked.

Before Channing there was Bradley Cooper. Before Bradley there was Ryan Reynolds. And before Ryan there was Johnny Depp. So that is some lofty space for the talented Voice coach to share. We get it, though. Sure, he’s a bit on the thin (read: really skinny) side, but there is something that just oozes sexiness about him.

What do you think — if these rumors are true, does Adam deserve the spot as People’s Sexiest Man Alive or does Blake Shelton? Sound off in the comments!
